College Preparation


Given that the vast majority of careers in this country now require some form of post-secondary education, it is critical not just for students to get into college, but to succeed once there.

While many factors play a role in a student’s future success in college, the rigor of one’s high school coursework is critical. A solid preparation in college preparatory courses allows students greater access to a variety of majors without the need to slow their progress towards graduation with remedial coursework.  Furthermore, investigating college options and requirements early in high school can help a student to prepare appropriately for academic and career choices.

Below are resources and tools to help your students prepare academically for their college experience while in high school.
